  2. Bronchospasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchospasm

    Bronchospasm or a bronchial spasm is a sudden constriction of the muscles in the walls of the bronchioles. It is caused by the release (degranulation) of substances from mast cells or basophils under the influence of anaphylatoxins. It causes difficulty in breathing which ranges from mild to severe.

  3. Bronchoconstriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchoconstriction

    Onset of action for SAMAs is typically between 30 and 60 minutes, making these drugs less efficacious in treating acute asthma attacks and bronchospasm. [9] Most common side effects for these drugs may include dry mouth, headache, urinary tract infection, and bronchitis.

  4. Asthma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthma

    Asthma phenotyping and endotyping has emerged as a novel approach to asthma classification inspired by precision medicine which separates the clinical presentations of asthma, or asthma phenotypes, from their underlying causes, or asthma endotypes. The best-supported endotypic distinction is the type 2-high/type 2-low distinction.

  5. Bronchiole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchiole

    Bronchospasm, a potentially life-threatening situation, occurs when the smooth muscular tissue of the bronchioles constricts, severely narrowing their diameter. The most common cause of this is asthma. Bronchospasm is commonly treated by oxygen therapy and bronchodilators such as albuterol.

    In athletes, symptoms of bronchospasm such as chest discomfort, breathlessness, and fatigue are often falsely attributed to the individual being out of shape, having asthma, or possessing a hyperreactive airway rather than EIB. [3]

  8. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchial_hyperresponsiveness

    Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is a hallmark of asthma but also occurs frequently in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). [2] In the Lung Health Study, bronchial hyperresponsiveness was present in approximately two-thirds of patients with non-severe COPD, and this predicted lung function decline independently of other ...

  9. Anti-asthmatic agents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiasthma_drugs

    Anti-asthmatic agents, also known as anti-asthma drugs, refer to drugs that can aid in airway smooth muscle dilation to allow normal breathing during an asthma attack or reduce inflammation on the airway to decrease airway resistance for asthmatic patients, or both. The goal of asthmatic agents is to reduce asthma exacerbation frequencies and ...
